After the latest patch we can see Weight Distribution in the ballast menu.

What does it take to 50/50 a Yellowbird?

The patch isn't working for everybody.

Why isn't it working?

Black screen at game load for some, others are stuck on system time and date. Some are still running 3.55 & 1.10 forces a 3.60 update.

I'm curious about the Bird and ballast placement. Like if the Bird takes 100kg at -50 for 50/50 what happens when the 100kg is at -25 & what amount of ballast adjustment do you need to make at -25 to get 50/50 if it needs 100kg at -50 etc.

Also has moving 0 ballast stayed the same, or is there a change in displayed W/D when 0 ballast is moved? Also IF it's not affecting W/D on the screen is it still having an impact on the Track?

From what I know, if you fully lightened the Yellowbird, the best you could do with -50 and 200kg ballast is 49/51…but if the window reduction is excluded, I think you could get a 50/50…

Thanks! I calculated 240kg seems I wasn't far off, but any news about the 0 ballast movement, of if there is a "ghost" amount moved still.

I hope no hard feelings over past beefs etc, things can get heated online when tongue & cheek etc are not easily recognizable & opinions are flying. Today is a new day with the past behind us.

Cheers!

No problem mate! Anything to help :)

Slightly off-topic, but whatever happened to the CT230R?

Still getting prepped for release, I got side tracked. It's probably due to my ADD & OCD. I'll have it up, but nobody seems to check out my Garage anymore. C'est La Vie.

Dunno about the Yellowbird, but BTR needs 200kg @ -50 to get 50/50.

It starts off at 40/60.
100kg @ 0 gives 41/59 (PP587)

100kg @ -25 gives 43/57 (PP586)

100kg @ -50 gives 45/55 (PP585)
50kg @ -50 gives 43/57 (PP589), as expected giving the same % as 100kg @ -25.

Mega thanks, you basically confirmed what I was hoping.

Just the 0 ballast, what's up with that?

BTRs my next Project

You're welcome.

I reckon the ballast @ 0 changes things because the weight is biased so much rearward that even installing ballast at the centre is pulling the bias forward. It shouldn't change things for a car that is already 50/50, and I'm sure you could find a ballast position for each car where adding weight doesn't change the bias (ie because you're adding it to the existing centre of mass).

I've made a more general thread to discuss this stuff if you're interested:

This can't be caused trough an update!
Why corrupt? Has it a scratch?

He should delete the whole game data of GT5 and then try it again.
